Permits have been issued for the construction of a multi-family building at 3836 Haverford Avenue in Mantua, West Philadelphia. Upon completion, the building will rise three stories tall, span 3,600 square feet, and feature seven residential units. The permit trivially lists construction costs at $100,000.
Construction appears to be substantially complete at a 15-townhouse development at 1100 Diamond Street next to the Temple University campus in North Philadelphia. Each home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the project and each is expected to sell for around $250,000 as workforce housing.
A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has discovered that construction is well underway at a four-story, 166-unit multi-family building at 1201 West Girard Avenue in Yorktown, North Philadelphia. Designed by Landmark Architectural Design LLC, the 118,298-square-foot structure will reintroduce significant residential presence to a site formerly occupied by a suburban-style pharmacy, helping restore the area to its vibrant prewar density level. Permits list OCF Construction LLC as the contractor and a construction cost of $17.2 million.
Philly YIMBY’s recent site visit has revealed no signs of construction at the site of a 13-story, 162-unit building proposed at 1428 Callowhill Street in Spring Garden, Lower North Philadelphia, though construction permits have been issued at the end of last year. Designed by j2a Architects, the building will span 117,624 square feet. The development will feature parking for 31 cars and 74 bicycles. Permits list BSI Construction as the contractor and construction costs of $19 million.
A recent site visit by Philly YIMBY has revealed that construction has not yet begun at the site of a six-story, 65-unit mixed-use building at 1201-15 Callowhill Street in Callowhill, Lower North Philadelphia, which received construction permits last November. Designed by JKRP Architects, the development will contain 83,667 square feet of residential area. The units will all function as co-living spaces, meaning there will be 239 beds within the structure. The project will also feature a 3,989-square-foot retail component on the ground floor and 8,854 square feet of office and amenity space. A 17,790-square-foot underground garage will hold 41 parking spaces, with two being ADA-compliant and three allocated for electric vehicles, as well as 22 bicycle spaces. Construction costs are estimated at $17.2 million.
